Recently, the Russian firm has floated around US $50 million proprietary fund under Asia Fund to back Indian startups. The company is looking forward to support entrepreneurs whose ventures have revolutionised the technology and retail sectors.

Seclore was jointly founded by Vishal Gupta and Abhijit Tannu in 2005. The company focuses on embedding security, privacy and compliance policies within information itself, in order to secure information shared externally. The firm equips enterprise with digital rights management solution (EDRM) that empowers the company to tackle the problems related to cyber-attacks.
